BOBBY BROWN ARRESTED FOR SECOND DUI OF THE YEAR

Bobby Brown just can't stop drinking... and driving.

For the second time this year, he faces a drunken driving charge after a Los Angeles police officer pulled him over in Studio City early Wednesday.

Brown's vechile was stopped on Ventura Boulevard and the officer said he smelled "a strong smell of alcohol" during the routine traffic stop. A quick field sobriety test proved that the singer was over the legal limit. Bobby was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and booked into a jail.

Police have confirmed that New Edition singer was released on bond.

Brown checked into a "confidential rehabilitation center" in August for treatment "relating to alcohol use," his spokesman said at the time.

Brown, 43, agreed to enter a 90-day alcohol treatment program when he pleaded no contest in Los Angeles County to driving with a blood alcohol content of .08% or higher in April. He also was sentenced to 36 months of probation, according to his attorney, Tiffany Feder.
